“ No one outside the (Australian development) sector seems to bat an eyelid at analysis that two in five of our programs are ineffective, or that taxpayers’ money is ending up in the bank accounts of politicians.”lowyinstitute.org/the-interp…

That's the message speakers at the @AAPSPacific conference want people across Oceania to embrace.
Congratulations to friends and colleagues in the Fiji media, the people and government of Fiji on the long awaited restoration of media freedom in your country @slrabuka @stansimpsonfj @VijayNarayan4
It's fun when you can actually taste the #impact of #innovation by #Pasifika #farmers to improve their #marketaccess. A quiet revolution in #chocolate-making taking place thanks to @WeAreDTGlobal's @PHAMA_Plus supported by #Australia & #NZ.

Great to see the opportunities @GuardianAus Pacific Project is giving our Pasifika journos! Big Congrats to @JeremyGwao @MsKateLyons @JN_Institute
So proud of @JeremyGwao who has taken out the excellence in climate reporting category at the Media Association of Solomon Islands awards for his report for the @GuardianAus Pacific Plunder series on the devastating impact of logging in SI.
Extraordinary times here in this country that has enjoyed decades of media freedom!
Now this is what a genuine step up looks like!

On my first day as Foreign Minister, I want to share some thoughts with our Pacific family.
Our region faces unprecedented challenges, but we will face them together.
We will achieve our shared aspirations together.
And we will listen because we care what the Pacific has to say.

Another excellent must-read from Solomons veteran reporter Dorothy Wickham... In 35 years' reporting from Solomon Islands, I have never seen such secrecy as the last few months | Dorothy Wickham theguardian.com/world/2022/m…

This sentiment shared via #Facebook is generally whats on most Solomon Islanders minds. 1️⃣ Solomon Islanders didn't ask for Battle of #Guadalcanal 2️⃣ 🇺🇸 close Embassy in 🇸🇧 many years ago 3️⃣ Not enough done by 🇺🇸 to clear UXOs
A perfect example from veteran Solomons journo @DorothyWickham of how balanced professional journalism can strip away the BS of the politicians both here and offshore! theguardian.com/world/2022/a…
Disturbing insight into #Beijing's aggressive soft power push to undermine independent public interest #media in our region. Excellent article by #Pacific @newsroom_the co-convenor, Sue Ahearn aspistrategist.org.au/how-ch…
